SAUNA AT COSTELHOSTEL

Most people like to use a sauna in the wintertime to get warmer, to make winter more enjoyable while improving their health.

At CostelHostel, this can become possible with the help of Constantin. He uses the Finnish traditional sauna often for health reasons, it helps to improve our immune system, it cleanse our body from toxins, improves circulation, and as an added benefit, the skin becomes soft and young.

Most guests of the CostelHostel in the winter are happy to add this service to their stay as the owner offers a special discount for guests that are staying at the hostel.

The sauna can be used all year round, not only in the winter. The health benefits are the same whether you use the sauna in spring, summer or fall. There's always a special time for a sauna!

The inside of the traditional Finnish sauna is made of pine tree wood on the walls and ceiling. The floors and seats are made of natural linden wood with details made of cherry tree. The different shades of red from the cherry tree and the white from the linden together with the dim lighting gives a relaxing atmosphere.

The Finnish brand stove is heated only with wood from acacia and fruit trees. While in the sauna, the fire will be seen through the glass door of the stove. The relaxing sound of burning wood makes this a sensory experience.
